You are operating a liftboat. In preparation for jacking you should __________.
⢠Liftboat operations and stability during jacking ⢠Importance of securing loose gear on deck before major operations ⢠Risks to personnel and small boats alongside when a vessel changes draft or position
⢠When a liftboat starts jacking, what changes physically about the vesselās draft, trim, and movement that could affect items on deck? ⢠Which action, if not done, could most directly create a hazard to stability, equipment, or people as the legs go down and the hull begins to lift? ⢠Think about standard good seamanship: before any heavy evolution (like jacking, anchoring, towing), what is the basic precaution taken on deck?
⢠Verify which option best addresses securing the vessel and its equipment rather than just comfort or convenience for crew. ⢠Consider which choice reduces the chance of objects shifting or falling when the hull starts to move relative to the water. ⢠Check which action would be considered a standard preāevolution safety practice on almost any working vessel.
